Channing Tatum has admitted he is ''super excited'' about the upcoming Gambit movie - in which he stars as the lead character - after reading the script.
Channing Tatum is ''super excited'' to be starring in 'X-Men' spin-off 'Gambit' after seeing the first draft of the script.
The 35-year-old actor has been allowed a read through of the story by Josh Zetumer - whose previous work includes the 'RoboCop' remake - and is convinced the Marvel superhero movie is going to be ''killer''.
Talking to the latest issue of Empire magazine, Channing said: ''Josh just turned in the first draft of the script, and it's killer. None of us were sure how he was going to deal with the 'X-Men' world. But we're going to be changing some of the tropes of these movies. It's always about saving the world, but maybe we're going to shift things a little bit. There's so many ways you can take (an origin story). You could do it like 'Batman Begins', or a different take and go the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' route. All I can say is, I'm super excited.''
The 'Magic Mike XXL' star is confirmed to play Gambit and he admits landing the role meant a lot to him because he relates to the Southern character on many levels.
He explained: ''I love Gambit. I grew up in the South; my father's from Louisiana. We'd go to New Orleans and I heard all the dialects. It felt so different from the rest of America; it has its own ancient culture. So I identified with that. And he always felt the most real of the 'X-Men' to me.''
'Gambit' is expected to be released in October 2016.
